I’m not sure what to think of this. What are the security and privacy implications of using something like this?

“Through the setup process, you’ll be asked to take a picture of your passport, as well as to use your iPhone to read the chip embedded on the back of your passport. Then, you’ll take a selfie for verification and complete a set of facial and head movements to further confirm your identity. Within a few minutes, your verification should be complete and your Digital ID will appear in the Apple Wallet app on your iPhone.” …
“Like all IDs in Apple Wallet, Digital ID takes advantage of the privacy and security features already built into iPhone and Apple Watch to help protect against tampering and theft. Digital ID data is encrypted. When users create a Digital ID, their passport data is stored on the device. Apple cannot see when and where users present their ID or what data was presented.”
On the surface, this is a convenient feature. I’m not saying they are perfect. I trust Apple more than any other major tech company. I’m concerned about the privacy and security implications of entrusting a company with all my ID and photo information.
